    • Your point 4 deals with that and puts them to strict proof .....but realistically they are not in a position to state that within their particulars they were not the creditor at the time of default but naturally assume the OC would have...so always worth challenging and if you get a DJ who knows his onions on the day may ask for further evidence from the OC internal accounts system. 
    • I see, shame, I think if a claim is 'someone was served' then proof of that should be mandatory. Appreciate your input into the WS whenever you get chance, thanks in advance
    • Paper trail off the original creditor often confirms the default and issue of a notice...not having or being able to disclose the actual copy or being able to produce a copy less so. Creditors are not compelled to keep copies of the actual default notice so you will in most cases get a reconstituted version but must contain accurate figures/dates/format.     .    
    • Including Default Notice Andy? Ok, I think this is the best I can do.. it all makes sense with references to their WS. They have included exhibits that dates don't match the WS about them, small but still.. if you're going to reference letters giving dates, then the exhibits should be correct, no? I know I redacted them too much, but one of the dates differs to the WS by a few months. IN THE ******** County Court Claim No. [***] BETWEEN: LC Asset 2 S.A.R.L CLAIMANT AND [***] DEFENDANT ************ _________________________ ________ WITNESS STATEMENT OF [***] _________________________ ________ I, [***], being the Defendant in this case will state as follows; I make this Witness Statement in support of my defence in this claim. 1. I understand that the claimant is an Assignee, a buyer of defunct or bad debts, which are bought on mass portfolios at a much-reduced cost to the amount claimed and which the original creditors have already written off as a capital loss and claimed against taxable income as confirmed in the claimant’s witness statement exhibit by way of the Deed of Assignment. As an assignee or creditor as defined in section 189 of the CCA this applies to this new requirement on assignment of rights. This means that when an assignee purchases debts (or otherwise acquires rights under a credit agreement) it also acquires certain obligations to the borrower including the duty to comply with CCA requirements (such as the rules on statements and notices and other post-contractual information). The assignee becomes the creditor under the agreement. This ensures that essential consumer protections under the CCA cannot be circumvented by assigning the debt to a third party. 2. The Claim relates to an alleged Credit Card agreement between the Defendant and Bank of Scotland plc. Save insofar of any admittance it is accepted that the Defendant has had contractual agreements with Bank of Scotland plc in the past, the Defendant is unaware as to what alleged debt the Claimant refers. 3. The Defendant requested a copy of the CCA on the 24/12/2022 along with the standard fee of £1.00 postal order, to which the defendant received a reply from the Claimant dated 06/02/2023. To this date, the Claimant has failed to disclose a valid agreement and proof as per their claim that this is enforceable, that Default Notice and Notice of Assignment were sent to and received by the Defendant, on which their claim relies. The Claimant is put to strict proof to verify and confirm that the exhibit *** is a true copy of the agreement and are the true Terms and Conditions as issued at the time of inception of the online application and execution of the agreement. 4. Point 3 is noted. The Claimant pleads that a default notice has been served upon the defendant as evidenced by Exhibit [***]. The claimant is put to strict proof to verify the service of the above in accordance with s136 and s196 Law of Property Act 1925. 5. Point 6 is noted and disputed. The Defendant cannot recall ever having received the notice of assignment as evidenced in the exhibit marked ***. The claimant is put to strict proof to verify the service of the above in accordance with s136 and s196 Law of Property Act 1925. 6. Point 11 is noted and disputed. See 3. 7. Point 12 is noted, the Defendant doesn’t recall receiving contact where documentation is provided as per the Claimants obligations under CCA. In addition, the Claimant pleads letters were sent on dates given, yet those are not the letters evidenced in their exhibits *** 8. Point 13 is noted and denied. Claimant is put to strict proof to prove allegations. 9. The Claimant did not provide a true copy of the CCA in response to the Defendants request of 24/12/2022. The Claimant further claims that the documents are sufficient to pursue a Judgement and are therefore copies of original documents in their possession. Conclusion 10. Without the Claimant providing a valid true copy of the executed Credit agreement that complies with the CCA, the Claimant has no grounds on which to enforce this alleged debt. 11. The Defendant was not given ample evidence to prove the debt and therefore was not required to enter settlement negotiations. Should the debt be proved in the future, the Defendant is willing to enter such negotiations with the Claimant. On receipt of this claim I could not recall the precise details of the agreement or any debt and sought clarity from the claimant by way of a Section 78 request. The Claimant failed to comply. I can only assume as this was due to the Claimant not having any enforceable documentation and issuing a claim in hope of an undefended default judgment.   Statement of Truth I, ********, the Defendant, believe the facts stated within this Witness Statement to be true. I understand that proceedings for contempt of court may be brought against anyone who makes, or causes to be made, a false statement in a document verified by a statement of truth without an honest belief in it’s truth.

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

hi horsemad1, yes I have written to them but they are being obstructive to say the least. To the extent that they keep writing back in such a way as to look like they have addressed my complaint but never addressing the specific legal points including case law that have been quoted to them and which I have asked them to comment on if they feel that the account is not fully and finally settled.

 

Next step is to write specifically to their legal department and their chairman/CEO and then complain to the FOS and possibly department of fair trading. I also intend to write separately tot he CRA's and then if needs be proceed to legal action.

 

If I get any further feedback or developments I will keep all on CAG apprised. Will get there one way or the other, but hopefully sooner rather than later!

 

Yes, I think it's a little hard for them to fully comprehend that they have legally accepted your F&F without actually saying I accept. The advice I got from the Solicitors was to ignore any further correspondence from them to try to get them to take me to Court, can then go for strike out making it a condition that any erroneous data is removed from CRA's.

 

Mould has previously advised me to write to CEO of companies, but even he felt ignoring them was the best option, as I've managed to get rid of a lot of debt, relatively easily and for me that was what this was all about. I can at last sleep at night!! However, thats up to you and I would be interested to hear how you get on. Good Luck!

Hi horsemad1. 1st thank you to post nice thread in CAG. I have a bank overdraft 5K. I asked for cca. But they didn't send me anything yet. It is over an year since I disputed this debt. So far they sent 3 DCA. All are failed to provide me valid CCA. I got some cash now to pay off for F&F settlement. What the best way to negotiate with them for F&F settlement. Please advice. Thank you

 

It depends what you are hoping to achieve, if you just want rid of the debt asap but are not too fussed about your credit rating at the mo then this is a good way, but you may still have a fight on your hands to get your credit files cleaned up the way you want them and possibly for them to write off the balance. Legally, once they cash the cheque, the debt no longer remains, however getting them to accept this can be a whole diffrent ball game, but as with alot of things on here, you have to stand your ground and dont give in to them.

 

If you would prefer to get everything agreed in writing first before you send the cheque, then write to them with your F&F offer and wait to see if they agree, make it a clause in your offer that the money will only be sent providing defaults are removed once cheque cashed and ask them to confirm this in writing if they do agree. However, most of the banks/DCA's will only ever agree to marking your file as settled/partially settled. Good Luck with whichever way you decide to go.

They should but they will always say they don't have too. Have a read of 'Are overdrafts covered by CCA's' by gaznkaz08, you will get alot of useful info from there.

Why would you send an offer to someone who can't provide proof that you owe them anything dom............? :confused:

 

Unless they have an agreement , they can't do anything..... it's like me coming to you and saying .. "you owe me £5000.... I can't prove it , but if you give me £3000 we'll call it quits" :)

Oh they'll accept it alright, but you may still have a fight on your hands to get them to remove the negative info.

davidoneman, if they cannot prove they have a contract, they also cannot prove that they have the right to record your information with the credit reference agencies... that route may be the quickest (aswell as cheapest!) way to get your default removed.

If in doubt, contact a qualified insured legal professional (or my wife... she knows EVERYTHING)

 

Or send a cheque or postal order payable to Reclaim the Right Ltd.

Write to Barclaycard, tell them as they have no agreement with yourself and are in default of the CCA you will report them to the information commisioner if they do not remove any information about yourself that they have registered with the CRA's. give them 14 days to comply.

thanks locutus, might take some of that and tailor it slightly for the letter I am going to fire off tomorrow to one of my ex-creditors.

 

What amuses me is the way they try to point blank denythe 3rd party payment was made in full and final settlement but choose instead to gloss over the legal detail and refuse to answer any specific points where it does not suit them. They must really think people are complete idiots. Well let's see their response when I mention taking legal action to remedy!

 

Does anyone else have any useful suggestions on laws/statutes they are contravening by not accepting the cashed 3rd party cheque (accompanied by clearly laid out 3rd party letter making the offer) I could quote in addition to that provided by locutus, in addition to the case laws on 3rd party cheques? i.e. any data or fair trading laws that might be broken by the ex-creditor because they are refusing to recognise a settled debt? thanks

Hi ND, Mould has always said that they believe that they actually have to have said I accept your offer to accept it, if you get what I mean and it takes a little time for them to actually realise, thats that, they will bluff and bluster - but what can they do? Legally, the debt no longer exists, added to that a dodgy or non existent CCA. I think its a case of wearing them down, once they realise, your not going to play postal ping pong and pay the balance no matter what they threaten, they will have no choice but to give up. Perhaps as you earlier suggested, write to the CEO of the Companies - it may at least make something happen, or if you want to take Legal action against them then go down that route, but then the onus is on you to prove everything rather than them....

 

If you were like me and thought once the debt was gone, the credit files would be cleaned up automatically and there would be no more chasing, then I was possibly a little niave to begin with. However, in reality I think the latter takes a little longer.

 

For all my debts, the only ones that are still hassling me are the ones that were still with the OC (only 2), all the ones that were with DCA's, I have heard nothing further, so as far as I am concerned thats it and I am going to write to the CRA's to enlighten them on this saga as they then dispute the info registered and have to take it up with DCA's on my behalf. For OC ones, I will try and shake it up with the CEO to see what they make of it all. Will post up any responses that I get.

How you getting on with removing the default and nay adverse history off your credit file.

Hi Johno, still working on it. I am under no illusion that this part at least isn't as easy as wiping the debt if they dont do it automatically... What about you?

I tried the F&F with egg (sent from a third party) but they returned it. The account is in the hands of a dca acting on behalf of egg. Can I try again with a F&F but this time send it to the DCA who’s acting on behalf of egg? They did state in their letter that if we make contact within 14 days they can offer a substantial discount for a mutually accepted one off payment.
